What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
My husband is a long-time recovering alcoholic. He does pretty well the vast majority of the time and attends AA.
He has survived a couple of rounds of layoffs at work but the problem is that he now works 12+ hours a day because the work is now being done by far fewer people. He goes to his meetings on the weekends but he's having a harder and harder time going during the work week. He has never shared that he is an alcoholic at work and he's afraid that if he asks to be off an hour earlier so that he can attend his meetings he'll be fired. He's tried to go during his lunch hour but because of drive time he only gets 15 mins at the meeting.
Does he have any protection or should he continue to suck it up?
